the leftist position is that people’s positions, even if horrific, have roots in their material reality. the liberal position as best i can tell is that 20-30% of the country has an irredeemably evil soul. i guess im going with the one you could actually do something about.

The real life metatextual twist here is that avant-garde Marxist playwright Wallace Shawn was able to solve the financial woes of both himself and his revered short story writer wife by becoming the voice of the lovable dinosaur in the Toy Story films

@typesfast Definitely @SliteHQ - AI-powered search is built in & they'll migrate all your Confluence docs. Disclaimer, I did work there, but it's a great team and you'd love the founder/fellow yc'er @Christophepas slite.com

Confluence is a corporate wiki without a working search function. What is the point of a wiki with no search? What are better alternatives out there?

I know there were only like 3 names back then but I still think it’s so exquisite that Jane Austen named Elizabeth’s hot, perfect older sister her own name.

For years, @conniewang thought the story of her name was special. “Little did I know it was the story of a generation,” she writes. “Generation Connie.” nyti.ms/3VREJu3

Today the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group brought force and chaos to a vigil for Jordan Neely. 

This militarized unit has no place in our communities, at vigils, or at protests. It must be disbanded.
Talia Jane ❤️‍🔥@taliaotg

Massive chaos. SRG ran into the crowd from the back, resulting in pushing, shoving, people getting stuck between layers of cops and shoved some more, pushed down, then grabbed while trying to help each other get up. 3 arrests here. Nothing unlawful.

My first piece for @NewYorker, on the royal women of Dubai who risked everything to flee the brutality of its ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, while he publicly espoused gender equality. A story of mind-blowing courage and terrifying cruelty. newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

Jenny Odell: "I feel like I’m always trying to do the same thing, which is: just move someone, because I think for someone to feel like they’ve been touched or moved is a way through that crust that everyone grows to just get through the day." theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

Haven't been on here for a while, because Twitter is dying and also because I have two accounts, which is silly. If you're still on here, follow the other me, @melbroder, for a combination of literary + tech takes OR let's connect IRL: melaniebroder.com
